He had a brief pitching career in the minor leagues from 1972-78 with Pittsburgh and the New York Yankees, followed by administrative jobs including baseball operations assistant with the Yankees in 1983-\u201884, scouting director with the Yankees in 1985, special assistant to general manager Roland Hemond in 1987 with the Baltimore Orioles, assistant GM and director of player personnel from 1988-\u201893 with the Orioles, and then landing his first general manager\u2019s job from 1994-2001 with the Texas Rangers. Melvin was noted for signing superstar Alex Rodriquez to a ten-year, $250 million dollar contract on January 26, 2001. After a brief stint in minor league operations with the Boston Red Sox, was named executive vice president and general manager with the Brewers on September 26, 2002. He is the eighth general manager in Brewers, and was under contract through the 2015 season. Melvin ended 25-year playoff droughts in both Texas and Milwaukee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Melvin a \u00e9t\u00e9 nomm\u00e9 le directeur-g\u00e9rant de l\u2019ann\u00e9e en 2011 par la revue Baseball America apr\u00e8s une saison record de 96 victoires des Brewers et le titre de la division centrale de la Ligue nationale. Il a aussi \u00e9t\u00e9 nomm\u00e9 cor\u00e9cipiendaire du prix de directeur-g\u00e9rant de l\u2019ann\u00e9e selon The Sporting News en compagnie de David Dombrowski des Tigers de D\u00e9troit. Il avait d\u00e9j\u00e0 re\u00e7u pareil honneur en 1996 et en 1998. Melvin a \u00e9t\u00e9 \u00e9lu en Temple de la renomm\u00e9e des sports de Chatham en 2000.\n\nAu cours de la saison 2011, Melvin a transig\u00e9 afin d\u2019obtenir l\u2019ancien gagnant du Cy Young dans l\u2019Am\u00e9ricaine, Zack Greinke, le lanceur Shaun Marcum et le voltigeur Nyjer Morgan. Puis le soir du match des \u00e9toiles, il a acquis Francisco Rodriguez et, plus tard dans la saison, Jerry Hairston. Ces v\u00e9t\u00e9rans lui ont donn\u00e9 raison, contribuant grandement \u00e0 une deuxi\u00e8me participation aux s\u00e9ries \u00e9liminatoires en quatre ans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>En route vers la campagne 2012, Melvin a mis la main sur plusieurs agents libres de choix afin de garder son \u00e9quipe la plus comp\u00e9titive possible : le joueur de troisi\u00e8me but Aramis Ramirez, l\u2019arr\u00eat-court Alex Gonzalez et le voltigeur japonais Norichika Aoki. Il a \u00e9galement am\u00e9lior\u00e9 l\u2019enclos des releveurs en allant chercher Jose Veras chez les Pirates de Pittsburgh. Il a finalement offert le contrat le plus long de l\u2019histoire de la franchise, jusqu\u2019en 2020, \u00e0 la vedette locale de l\u2019\u00e9quipe et joueur par excellence de la Nationale Ryan Braun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>During his time as General Manager, Melvin has dramatically overhauled the Brewers\u2019 roster, creating a roster of veteran players alongside the homegrown, youthful talent. In his eight years as General Manager, Melvin has recorded 717 wins, three winning seasons, two Postseason berths and a NL Central Division Championship. His acquisition of CC Sabathia in 2008 was instrumental to the Brewers entering its first post-season since 1982. He is one of six Canadian natives to ever be a Major League General Manager, joining George Selkirk of the Washington Senators, Murray Cook of the New York Yankees, Montreal Expos and Cincinnati Reds, Gord Ash of the Toronto Blue Jays, who currently works with the Brewers, Farhan Zaidi of the Dodgers and current Braves GM Alex Anthopoulos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Doug et sa conjointe Ellen sont \u00e9galement engag\u00e9s dans leur communaut\u00e9, dont \u00e0 la fondation du cancer du sein Susan G. Komen et ils font \u00e9galement un don de 25 000 $ \u00e0 la fondation des Brewers \u00e0 chaque ann\u00e9e. Le couple a deux enfants, Ashley et Cory, ce dernier travaillant aussi pour les Brewers comme d\u00e9pisteur professionnel. Ses parents, Art et Bernice, tout comme son fr\u00e8re Andy et sa s\u0153ur Chris, demeurent toujours \u00e0 Chatham.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u00ab Deux membres du Temple de la renomm\u00e9e ont mis la barre haute pour les Canadiens au baseball. Ferguson Jenkins m\u2019a inspir\u00e9 comme joueur et Pat Gillick comme dirigeant. Depuis mes d\u00e9buts dans les Petites ligues \u00e0 Chatham dans les ann\u00e9es 60, le baseball au Canada a connu une croissance rapide avec l\u2019augmentation de la participation et la reconnaissance que le pays peut comp\u00e9titionner avec n\u2019importe quel autre pays. Le Temple de la renomm\u00e9e du baseball canadien encourage la pratique du baseball chez jeunes joueurs canadiens avec ces programmes. Le travail acharn\u00e9 des membres afin de conserver l\u2019h\u00e9ritage du baseball est \u00e9galement reconnu, respect\u00e9 et appr\u00e9ci\u00e9 \u00e0 travers le pays et le monde du baseball. \u00bb<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u00ab Deux membres du Temple de la renomm\u00e9e ont mis la barre haute pour les Canadiens au baseball.
